The windlass was made from a bucket, rope, and a long piece of straight, round, strong timber. The timber was secured using two forked branches or four other pieces of the same timber, joined together to make two separate forks like an 'X'. The long piece of timber was placed inside the two 'X's and the rope was tied to it, with the bucket at the other end of the rope. A handle was attached to one end so one man could pull the bucket up, and one man could stay down the shaft/mine and shovel dirt into the bucket.
